A dad completed the Liverpool Half Marathon just one year on after collapsing at another race.
Richard Moore, from Southport, suffered a heart attack for one hour before he "hit the deck" and went into cardiac arrest while running the Blackpool marathon in April last year. He thought the pain was due to a stitch and tried to carry on.
Speaking to the ECHO, the now 41-year-old said: "I was aiming for under four hours, which for anyone who has ran a marathon is the milestone because if you get under four hours you probably don't have to do another one because you've accomplished it. Three hours in I thought I was just having a stitch basically.
